Nice of you to remember that! I am kind of zeroed in on Caron- French Can Can. It must be from the boutique in Paris, though. How finicky is that!? But I do love many of my other scents still, of course.

A new Calandre!? That's news to me. How exciting. Sounds lovely! Thanks for the note.

I was thinking about you, kumquat, after reading a recent 'signature fragrance' thread, and how you found that perfect signature fragrance, even with the vast library of fragrances that exist inside your head. Hope all is well with you and yours. It's summer here in NZ and I have powered through about 50mls of the reintroduced 'Calandre' as my most worn holiday frag.

I've just realized I've never sent you a friend request! A major oversight as I have long admired your posts and blog, and was so delighted that you joined the Coty pass. Well, here it is now; would be my honor to have you accept!

Kumquat. Long time no chat. Can I ask you a question? I found a certain cologne I'm interested in and it has kumquat as a note according to the notes listed in Fragrantica(yes, that other sight). Question: Jasmine is one of my favorites notes in perfumery and I was wondering, "Does kumquat smell anything like jasmine?" Thank you as I'd surmise you've smelled the actual thing. Paul H.

Jardin D'Amalfi
Lemons blaze, hotter than the white heat on the green grass.Sleepy, wafts of tangerine and juicy neroli, roll by.It's time for a walk in the sunny garden.
Dreaming in the daze of warmth,
yellow striped butterflies prance with audacity.
Bold; they know they are marked as "dangerous".
